Flat Stanley

We got to see it Friday night. It was fun! The boys had a blast. J was literally sitting at the edge of his seat most of the time. When Stanley woke up flat for the first time, J said:

"He's flat! If a bulletin board fell on him you should see his bones!" Ew.

All the way home and the next morning, J was talking about it and singing about Flat Stanley.

NM was a bit worried at the beginning. He noticed that most of the kids there were, well, little. But as people were getting seated, he began to notice more and more those kids who were his age. That included the three brothers who sat to my right and began to play tag. The one closest to me turned to me and lightly poked my arm and said "Tag!"

He was mortified he tagged a stranger. He had to switch places after that :D

NM did enjoy it a lot, too, and that was good since it was his idea. He was concerned that it was a musical since he was bored out of his mind when his class went to see a production of Beauty and the Beast. But Flat Stanley is quite a bit different and very much up my kids' alley. Very funny!

Afterwards, we went outside and the kids played. They have this lights display on the ground that had the kids stomping around. Plus there's the hill of grass which had lots and lots of kids rolling down it. What a blast! Yes, they were tired but all smiles afterwards.

Speaking of funny, NM really loves Calvin and Hobbes lately. I got him another book and he's been pouring over it along with his little brother. I get a kick out of the look on his face as he's reading it.
